I wonder how the other various wives feel about posing with Melania. I guess they have to be good sports about the whole thing. Or maybe wear simple clothes and no make up. "My husband and I represent the real people." Maybe Macron could go full French and rent Carla Bruni for the evening.

A creepy commuter relieved himself on a J train rolling through Queens early Thursday — right onto a hapless 26-year-old woman, police said.

The woman told police she was sitting in the middle car on the Brooklyn-bound train as it left the 75th St.-Elderts Lane station in Jamaica about 1:50 a.m. — her eyes closed as she listened to music on her headphones — when she felt something wet hit her face.

Should a woman her age wear such a short skirt? Hey! If Althouse can complain about men my age wearing shorts (today it got into the 90s) then I can complain about women in their sixties wearing miniskirts.

"You're in such great shape, Brigitte, but you're too fucking old for my tastes." said America's most ridiculed President to the French broad who maneuvered the recent French election away from France's ugliest female populist. "When I hear the name 'Brigitte,' I remember Brigitte Bardot assuming nude poses not unlike those famous Melania works-of-art."

the "down low"--just like her husband.She's only 25 years older than he is. They married 10 years ago, so he was 29, she was 54. Mommy issues or beard or both?

Macron was just 16 when he vowed to marry Trogneux – a married mum-of-three at the time – and his parents even tried to put a stop to the schoolboy love affair, according the book by Anne Fulda, “Emannuel Macron: A Perfect Young Man”. Izvestia is the primary source for the gawy weekend rumor. They said it came from the hacked emails of Hillary Clinton, giving no details.

Trump is so much more interesting (entertaining too) than other politicos. What you see is what you get, no fakery and no filter. Such a refreshing difference compared to Hillary!, Schumer, Pelosi, Obama -- pretty much all of Team Dem, with the exception of Bernie.

brylun said...Kid Rock for Senate, for real, will.shake things up even more.

The Detroit Free Press is reporting that the Robert Ritchie for Senate talk is probably phony; that Kid Rock has a new album in the works followed by tour commitments followed by corporate commitments. Making a Senate run next year highly unlikely

I talked with Michigan Republican insiders last night, and Ritchie has hired some serious consultants. Of course with $100 million, he can hire serious consultants just for the fun of it. One told me, "If Ritchie gets in the race, Debbie Stabenow won't file to run again." That seems a bit strange, because unlike most senior senators from both parties, actually being senator is probably the best job she'll ever have. She is the stupidest waste of human space in the chamber.

We already know that Trump's most ardent supporters could hear Trump talking about Brigitte Trogneux by the pussy and they would only love him all the more for it.

So the left-wing wailing about whether this was a sexist objectifying remark isn't going to sway anybody.

What struck me about all of it wasn't so much that Trump was being sexist; what struck me is how awkward and graceless Trump is; I don't think he's got much to talk about, without it sounding like he was in the locker room at Trump National Westchester.

One of the most stupid things ever written. Trump's most ardent supporters actually watched the taped and read the transcripts and know that Trump never said that he grabs pussies himself. Ms Macron's chatte was never in any danger.

What strikes me is how well Trump is doing. In every situation he is a leader and says things every American that loves this country wants to hear.

What also strikes me is how pathetic his enemies here at home are. How reflexively negative they are and how they have to make things up to pretend like they are relevant. They are constantly outing themselves as haters and losers that everyone else hates. Like that asshole in the home owners association that bitches about people not watering their lawn.

We had one of those guys get mad because the garbage comes on Friday and we were out of town and the cans were still out on Saturday. He wanted to make sure we got our letter. Such a smirking shithead face. I realized the guy was probably a lifelong republican. Everyone pretty much hates those people.

This just such a beautiful analogy in which Trump is your empty garbage can, left out on the curb too long.

Well, this can isn't going anywhere anytime soon Mr Uptight establishment! This sir, is so much more than the dirty receptacle you would have us hide away until trash day.

To the contrary! This humble receptacle's presence on the public curb bears mute testimony to freedom and the power of Democracy itself.

@althouse I have lived in Paris, traveled widely in France over many years and eaten at some of the most expensive restaurants down to the highway cafe's. The menu at the Eiffel Tower restaurant was tourist menu fodder - nothing special. It has items that would make a tourist from an English-speaking country feel safe.

Your comments about the sniffy NYT is reverse-snobbery. Some people know what's what. Other's don't. As they say, ignorance is bliss.

We already know that Trump's most ardent supporters could hear Trump talking about Brigitte Trogneux by the pussy and they would only love him all the more for it.

This is a stupid, partisan comment that falsely equates political votes for life endorsements and "love" which, in this context, makes no sense to me. You know why I cheered about the "grab 'em by the pussy" comment? Because it was the perfect example of the media trying a kill shot that would have, should have, worked on a GOPer pantywaist just like it had every time before. And it failed! It flopped. It backfired and painted the media as dishonest. This was their best shot at him.

But Trump shrugged it off. He compared his "guy talk" to his opponent's husband who was forced to admit he had sexually assaulted a state employee and lied under oath to get out of it (losing his law license in the process). He refused to play the DEC shame game where only Republicans pay a public price for private comments and actions. Not only did this give the public permission to tune out of all media attacks, it hurt the DNC-Media complex and their co-conspirators in Hollywood.

How? Because it was also 100% true. That is what you can "get away" with when "you're a star." Trump didn't say it's what he did. He said it's what "they let you do" when you're a star. Who can argue with that? The bad actor playing Trump on SNL (expect 10 Emmys) has been caught on taper saying (more like screaming) worse things to his own daughter and practicing homophobia by calling a reporter a "fucking cocksucker" on video. But hey! "That's what you can do when you're a star."

So unlike fake Republicans from the Great Lakes area, most Americans saw through the pearl-clutching charade to the truth in Trump's words. And from that point on the media has lost even more credibility for their dogged persistence in spreading lies and avoiding the truth, where convenient to the DNC side.

"Such a smirking shithead face. I realized the guy was probably a lifelong republican. Everyone pretty much hates those people."

So much political truth in a comment about a relatively trivial matter. I know so many apolitical, yet socially conservative, people who wouldn't vote for the Doles and Romneys of the world because they were instinctively repelled by the smugness. Needless to say, they tired of Obama very quickly. And they absolutely despise the statist hypocrites in both parties. So Trump can tweet and douse his steak in ketchup until time stops, and they will still support him.

I was just opining to an open minded liberal friend of mine that trump is the "new normal" in american politics and that there is no going back. They agreed and conceded it didn't happen overnight. He then further conceded the democrats need to move on to another tactic by late summer as the hail mary of having trump resign just isn't happening and that's beginning to sink in.

"We had one of those guys get mad because the garbage comes on Friday and we were out of town and the cans were still out on Saturday. He wanted to make sure we got our letter. Such a smirking shithead face."

Tell him to get a hobby that doesn't involve what's going on at your house. I hate god awful busybodies.

The whole reason She Who will Never Be President could never appeal to the public at large was because she was so obviously the sort of person who lived to send letters to people who didn't put their trash cans in on time. Her supporters are the very same type. It's why they are perfectly fine with the idea of ousting Trump by any means necessary. It's what you do when the wrong sort moves into the neighborhood. Harrass them until they leave.

I thought she would be a fireplug, more like poor dear Mrs. Pence or Mrs. Sanders. She looks skinny like Melania looks skinny. Granting that she's 60 or whatever she's going to look as old as she looks, why harp on it? She must have had *something* to hook macron. But fine, since you feel so strongly, I will Google images of her.

If you want to talk trash about people you've never met, I think that Melania had a bad boob job in that nude picture that went around. I hope that once she hooked up with Trump she got that sorted out.

Skinny, bewbs, looks happy, may know fun, may even know love. Could be more than meets the eye:

When Marko had told us about Floyd Whitten's former love whom he had ditched when he married the boss, I had made a casual mental comment that there was something droll about a man living in sin with a toy buyer, but one look at Julie Alving showed me that such casual comments can be silly. She was forty and looked it, and she was not an eyestopper in any obvious way, but everything about her, the way she walked, the way she stood, her eyes and mouth and whole face, seemed to be saying, without trying or intending to, that if you had happened to be hers, and she yours, life would be full of pleasant and interesting surprises. It wasn't anything personal, it was just her. I was so impressed, in spite of her age, that I was smiling at her before I knew it.
